No sarcasm? So you've had full time jobs and liked them, and you think I'm missing out on a good thing?

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Its slang we use here for someone who doesnt have a specific purpose but just does a lot of stuff combined, like fixing machines, helping with seeding and harvest, helping guests, etc.

I love the sea but ill be damned if i ever become a working fisherman, the smell is horrendous

None. It really was not that hard. You mainly lose social life. So I would not want to do it for more than a year or two.

I'm planning to get a temporary job this summer, something small like fast food or working in a grocery store. Enough to get spending money for when I study abroad in France this fall.

In the future, I plan to either be a French teacher in America or an English teacher in France. Hopefully the latter, but the former makes me happy too.

That's really nice! Good luck on that! :)
What are the requirements for becoming a teacher in France? Master's Degree, I believe?

I think so. That's the only thing that worries me. My dad is only willing to pay for my tuition up to a bachelor's degree. I don't know how I'm going to pay for a master's degree. My GPA is not the best either right now. So much stress. :(

Oh, you know what? I made a small mistake. To be a professor in some university or college, you need at least a Master's, but, if you're just planning to be an instructor, you only need Bachelor's and a TESOL certificate(for teaching English).

I'm sure Bachelor's and some internships will be enough for you to become a high school teacher. Master's is really only needed for becoming a professor.

The military is the answer.

Ive made some calls the Drill Instructor will be by to pick you up in the morning. You will be trained then dropped in to Syria with guns and ammo and the pictures of some high value ISIS leaders. Bring their heads back to the US and your masters degree will be payed for.
